“Ben painted our kitchen and outside walls. He communicated with us in detail and promptly when he came to quote, arranged the time to do the job around our schedule and stuck to his quote. He is really hardworking and an exacting painter. He was also a genuine pleasure to have in the house, really easy to be around.”

Highlights
“Thoroughly recommend Ben. I asked him to re-decorate my house, top to bottom, including walls, doors, skirting boards, and window sills, as well as minor wall/plaster repairs. Ben did a thorough job with complete attention to detail. He left the place absolutely spotless, and charged a very reasonable price. His conduct was professional and his communication was great. All in all, I couldn't fault him and would thoroughly recommend him to anybody looking to get any interior decoration done!”
